A COURAGEOUS MAN.
Something About the First Individual

Something About the First individual
That Carried AN Umbrella.
The first man who ventured to walk
the streets of London with an umbrella
was Joseph Hanway. The sensation,
of course. was great. He might have
walked the streets with a boil on his
nose. or policeman on each arm with.
out attracting any particular attention.
but he couldn't do it with an umbrella.
The rain was pouring. though it didn't
hinder the people from pouring into
the street to look at him. Some fol-
lowed him, laughing and jeering, until
they wore soaked to the skin, but
Joseph kept right on in his own placid
way. shedding smiles on the multitude
rs his umbrella shed the rain. No
doubt his politeness impelled him to
offer its shelter to some poor woman
caught in the storm. but we venture to
say that no woman was caught under
that umbrella on its experimental
trip. The sex is too susceptible to
ridicule for that Joseph continued
to brave ridicule and carry his UNI
brella until people got used to seeing
it, and one day when a neighbor call
ing at his house tried to borrow it.
promising to return it without delay.
he knew that opposition was at an end
and the reign of the umbrella was be-
gun. We suspect that the neighbor
failed to return the umbrella, thereby
establish ing precedent that has held
good ever since. 1t would be curious
to know whether the first umbrella
carrier was in the habit of carrying
it under his arm when it wasn't rain
ing, with the point protruding at a
convenient angle for jabbing out the
eyes of the person following. 1t is a
very old as we'll as perniciOus habit.
difficult to eradicate. A man doesn't
give it up even after having his own
eve punched out. We wish to think
kindly of Joseph Hanway. and hope he
did not introduce that vile habit with
the umbrella
People do not laugh at the umbrella
any more. except when the wind turns
it wrong side out at street corner.

An Wool Materials the Favorites loa

For home wear are simple and pretty
dresses of camel's hair. serge or CASH

single straight skirt is closely
shirred, this bordered with braiding.
MORE, velvet ribbon in q number of
rows or a passementerie of applique

and finished with line of brier stitch

match the skirt. and at the back Is a
wide sash Of watered silk. or of a
fabric like the dress. finished with q
broad hem pressed to lie very fat.
This is again wool season. that is.
all-wOol materials rank first as favor
ties, and are either made up quite
simply, with draperies of the same, or
else used where smarter style is re-
quired, in conjunction with plush or
velvet. Blocks and checks rival stripes
in favor. The new stripes, however.
are unlike those with which we are
familiar, in that the stripes are corded.

being raised above the ground that
they have the appearance Of narrow
lines of braid stitched on it, this being
especially pronounced in those
woolens of dark stripes on light
grounds, and vice-versa The wool

soonest of the raised striped textiles
is generally of serge or came's
hair, and a very artistic effect is given
by woven fiat stripe being set next
that which is raised, and so cleverly
managed that it looks rs if it were a
shadow cast by bolder line.
Silk-cOrd passementerie, superb Jet
galloons in lettice patterns covered
with sparkling pendants. and real
laces in new designs are the trimmings
most generally used upon black silk and
satin gowns. Soft surplice folds of the
silk are draped across the front of the
basque. the plaits at the shoulders held
by massive jet epaulets, and these,
narrowing at the belt, are kept in
place by a cut jet clasp or a huge jet
buckle. Jet belts. Swiss girdles, dog
collars and Wristbands are used upon
gowns. of black faille designed for
young ladies. Silver gimps enriched
with cut Jet headings are another ele-
giant and expensive garniture for cos
tunes of black. Where colOrs are in

scope for ingenious and unique combi-

velvets, mOIres plain and changeable.

novelties of the season. are noted upon

PRACTICAL FARMING.
What Persons Contemplating; to Engage

in Agriculture Should Know.
In view of the fact that many young
men in city life are thinking of going
into farming. we have undertaken to

som athing of what Il farmer must know
before he can be any thing of 4 success.
He should know what his particular
soil is capable of producingt to best adj
vantage Ii he is after new place the
! Kind of wild timber growing will help
him out. 1t is unnecessary to say that
walnut and white oak give an encour-
aging prospect. but will say that he
sholld know the difference between a
sandy soil and stiff clay, and o be
able to judge of the intermediate points
between these extremes; if he is able
to find the exact mixture he wants he
will be fortunate.
1t is generally to his advantage to
know what fertilizer will produce the
best crops on is land. and to know
the points most generally acceptable in
all his stock, whether it is horses for
work or for speed. cattle for faitening.
or cows for milk. hogs for meat, sheep
for meat and wool. and TO know the
most profitable way of feeding each.
He must likewise know the Tine Of
sowing his seeds and the quantity to
SOW. and the different ways of cult
waiting all crops; he must understand
all the varieties of fruit, from the ear
